Saudi launches new visa package, Indonesia becomes a priority country
Saudi Arabia has officially put Indonesia on the list of the first seven countries to receive the Package Visa scheme, which bundles travel services and electronic tourist visas in one digital package. The policy strengthens tourism ties between the two countries and opens up opportunities for Indonesian travelers to explore destinations in Saudi Arabia.
The Package Visa lets travelers buy travel packages through authorized providers that include flight tickets, hotels, and an electronic visa, which is issued within a maximum of 48 hours after purchase. The visa is valid for three months with a minimum stay of two days and a maximum of 88 days. The minimum package price is SR4,000 for the first two days, with an additional SR1,000 per day after that.
The Saudi government has stressed that the Package Visa is not an umrah service, but visa holders are allowed to visit all areas including Makkah and Madinah according to regulations. The program is part of Vision 2030 to make tourism a national economic driver.
With the largest Muslim population in the world, Indonesia is a priority market in Saudi tourism expansion. The list of participating countries will be expanded gradually as evaluation and digital infrastructure readiness improve.
